CBS host Gayle King took to the airwaves to suggest that the summer’s extreme heat has a direct correlation with the recent spike in gas prices. Yes, you read that correctly: according to King, it’s not the Biden failed economy, it’s the… weather!
According to King, the summer’s extreme heat is behind the rise in fuel prices, leaving economists around the world wondering why they didn’t think of that first.
“Have you noticed a recent surge in gas prices this summer? Join the club. You’re not alone. The national average price of a gallon of regular is now $3.83. That’s about thirty cents more than it was just a month ago. One big factor might surprise you. It seems this summer’s Extreme Heat is playing a role,” King claimed on a recent broadcast.
Instead of focusing on, say, the failed economic policies in the U.S. since the Biden regime took office, or the convoluted geopolitical chess game that is international oil production, let’s blame it all on a little extra sunshine making that gas meter spin faster.
Forget supply and demand, forget production and consumption, forget Biden’s catastrophic economic policies; the weather has taken the wheel, according to the fake news media.
WATCH:
The spike in gas prices has NOTHING to do with Bidenomics. CBS Host @GayleKing says that it’s actually due to the weather.

Below are some of the comments online:
And it has nothing to do with Biden depleting our Strategic Petroleum Reserves and forcing our reliance on foreign production. Which they are reducing now and that is driving the price up.
So there is that…

What’s their excuse for all the rest of the time gas was high and still is?
Is it the season of SUMMER WINTER FALL SPRING that makes gas prices spike? Extreme cold plays a role, too.
CLIMATE SCAM BULLSHYT

I thought it was because of Putin as that is what MSM had been saying last year.
I am confused now.Why don’t we just say that it is Trump’s fault? None of the MSM viewers will question that anyway.

I’m pretty sure they changed it to 2 seasons, covid season and climate change season.
